A sample of Justice and the Parables of Jesus book

 

 I am so excited to announce that my new book, Justice and the Parables of Jesus, is officially out TODAY!
In this book, I dig deep into the stories we think we know to uncover the ten dimensions of justice Jesus was actually teaching. Whether you’re a student of theology, a social advocate, or just someone looking for deeper meaning in the scriptures, this book is for you.


Is "Fairness" the same as "Justice"?
-The Prompt: In the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16), the latecomers get paid the same as those who worked all day. Our modern sense of "fairness" screams that this is wrong.
-The Justice Angle: But what if Jesus is redefining justice from "what we deserve" to "what we need to survive"?
-Call to Action: This is just one of the shifts I explore in Justice and the Parables of Jesus. If you’re using the book for a small group or book club, use the discussion questions.
